Nix overlay with telega.el

Overlay for nix that provides stable and unstable version of telega.el emacs package with telega-server built with compatible tdlib version.

No longer maintained

I no longer use nixos so I cannot maintain this and have disabled actions in this repository. If you want to use this then you can fork repository and enable github actions in it, it should continue to work in the future assuming dockerfile that is used here to obtain commit hash is not changed significantly enough for script to break.

Contents of the overlay

• emacsPackages.melpaPackages.telega - latest version of telega with telega-server built with compatible tdlib version
• emacsPackages.melpaStablePackages.telega - stable version of telega with telega-server built with compatible tdlib version
• emacsPackages.telega - same as emacsPackages.melpaStablePackages.telega

Using overlay

With NixOS configuration

{
  # ...
  nixpkgs.overlays = [
    (import (builtins.fetchTarball {
      url = https://github.com/ipvych/telega-overlay/archive/main.tar.gz;
    }))
  ];
  environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [
    ((emacsPackagesFor emacs).emacsWithPackages (epkgs: [
      # for unstable telega
      epkgs.melpaPackages.telega
      # for stable telega
      # epkgs.telega
     ]))
  ];
  # ...
}

With NixOS configuration using flakes

Add telega overlay as input to flake.nix like so

{
  # ...
  telega-overlay = {
    url = "github:ipvych/telega-overlay";
    inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
  };
  # ...
}

Then in configuration you can use in like so

{
  # ...
  nixpkgs.overlays = [ inputs.telega-overlay.overlay ];
  environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [
    ((emacsPackagesFor emacs).emacsWithPackages (epkgs: [
      # for unstable telega
      epkgs.melpaPackages.telega
      # for stable telega
      # epkgs.telega
     ]))
  ];
  # ...
}

FAQ

How packages are updated?

CI job is automaticaly run every day that runs update script in each repo folder. This job retrives version hashes and data for stable and unstable releases and writes them in approprite .json files that are then used by overlay.
